The Day 5 & 6 (Aug. 13th & 14th) prompt speaks to the poetic harmony that exists between Azriel and Gwyn. The shadow wielding Illyrian and the glowing part Nymph, a kiss of the dark sky and the wild sea.

About Azriel

I realized something that's been irking me about the way [Insert a certain ship name here] talks about Azriel.

I'm not sure if this is their intent, but the way they always emphasize Azriel's kindness towards Elain and attach a special meaning to it makes it seem like Azriel isn't a kind person in general?

Like it's giving "Doberman boyfriend who's only nice to her". Which is just... inaccurate.

Azriel is canonically kind to many characters, especially females, in the series. This is a non-exhaustive list off the top of my head:

He's so encouraging and understanding when teaching Feyre to fly in WAR. He gets her rare paint from the Continent.

He's so gentle and caring with Nesta in HOFAS when he's trying to get her to take off the Mask. And in the HOFAS bonus chapter, he reassures her that she would be a good mother despite her own upbringing. He gets her a reading light for Solstice.

He's mindful and considerate with the priestesses during Valkyrie training. The fact that he even agrees to train them despite everything else that he has going on is kind. He's very aware of their boundaries and respects them.

He's kind and supportive to Gwyn when he agrees to give her extra dagger lessons.

AND he is kind to Elain. Of course, I get wanting to emphasize the kind moments of your ship as romantic, but then denying any other kindness could also be romantic feels... Off. Kindness from a kind character isn't inherently romantic.

Azriel is someone who is kind with those he cares for. Romantically or otherwise.

He specifically is said to be sensitive to the treatment of females because of his mother.

Like I said, I could be misreading it, but that's how it comes off to me. Not just Them™️ either because I often see people reduced Azriel to the Shadow Daddy Dom character elsewhere. And it's sad, because he has so much more depth than that.
